Israel strikes Iran's nuclear facilities, but an expert cautions that the heavily protected Fordow site remains a dangerous threat that only U.S. military capabilities can neutralize.

Fordo is Iran’s second nuclear enrichment facility after Natanz, its main facility, which already has been targeted by Israeli airstrikes. The IAEA said Tuesday it believes the strikes have had “direct impacts” on the facility’s underground centrifuge halls.

An Israeli official said that "there's never a 100 percent guarantee," but "a nuclear disaster" should "not happen."

Israel has escalated its bombardment of Iranian cities, including Tehran's state television headquarters; Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv.

President Donald Trump disputed the assessment from his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the intelligence community, stating his belief that Iran was “very close” to developing a nuclear weapon prior to Israel’s attack on its facilities last week.

The Senate Finance Committee’s language would take a sledgehammer to some parts of the renewable-friendly Inflation Reduction Act while sparing others.

President Trump said Monday that he disagrees with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assessment from a few months ago that Iran is not currently trying to build a nuclear weapon and has not been doing so since 2003.
